Abstract: A computer device for assisting a user to type from printed matter, which includes a crossbar provided with mounting posts that allow it to be positioned on a laptop screen. The present invention further includes a document grasping mechanism with clips secured to the crossbar. The power mechanism for automatically repositioning the printed matter along the width of the laptop screen includes an electric motor, an output shaft, and pulleys. A belt is caused to move in a direction corresponding to the shaft rotation and is powered by the motor. The power mechanism also includes a USB cable connected to the electric motor and a laptop USB port respectively. When a user types, the laptop communicates with the electric motor via the USB cable for causing the motor to rotate selectively position the document along the laptop screen so that a user can maintain a line of sight with the screen during operating conditions.

Abstract: A sound-producing folding insert for a magazine is disclosed. A foldable support structure comprises a primary page and a secondary page. The secondary page is folded upon itself to form a pocket that retains a sound emitting means. The sound emitting means includes an electronic microchip sound generating device that includes a switch means connected at one end to a slidable tongue mechanism that is attached at the other end to the primary page, such that upon opening of the folding insert by separating the primary and secondary pages the slidable tongue mechanism allows the switch means to close, thereby activating the sound emitting means. Conversely, closing the folding insert brings the primary and secondary pages together forces the slidable tongue mechanism to open the switch means, and thereby deactivating the sounds emitting means. The sound emitting means is relatively flat and includes a generally flat speaker mounted to the secondary page.

Abstract: A sign assembly includes a fixture capable of being attached to a sign support structure. The sign assembly also includes a canopy which can slideably engage the fixture to provide cover for the sign support structure. The canopy can be foldable and can include lights to illuminate a sign held by the sign support structure. The lights can be provided power through contacts which are engaged when the canopy is attached to the fixture.
